Description

  The present invention relates to an imaging optical system used for an extremely small imaging module and an electronic imaging apparatus having the imaging optical system.

  In recent years, digital cameras have become widespread as next-generation cameras that replace silver salt 35 mm film cameras. Recently, digital cameras have become increasingly smaller and thinner. Also, camera functions (hereinafter referred to as imaging modules) have been mounted on mobile phones that are becoming popular at the same time. In order to mount this imaging module on a mobile phone, the optical system must be smaller and thinner than the optical system of a digital camera. In particular, a zoom lens is required to be small and thin. However, zoom lenses that are small enough to be installed in mobile phones are not well known.

As typical means for reducing the size and thickness of the zoom lens, the following two means can be considered. That is,
A. A retractable lens barrel is used to house the optical system in the thickness (depth) direction of the housing. The collapsible lens barrel is a lens barrel having a structure in which an optical system protrudes from the camera case during photographing and is housed in the camera case when carried.
B. A bending optical system is employed to accommodate the optical system in the width direction or height direction of the casing. This bending optical system is an optical system configured to bend the optical path (optical axis) of the optical system with a reflective optical element such as a mirror or a prism.

  A conventional example using the means A is described in, for example, the following Patent Document 1, and a conventional example using the means B is, for example, described in the following Patent Document 2. .

JP 2002-365545 A JP 2003-43354 A

  However, in the configuration using the means A described in Patent Document 1, the number of lenses constituting the optical system or the number of moving lens groups is still large, and it is difficult to reduce the size and thickness of the housing. .

  The configuration using the means B described in Patent Document 2 is easier to make the housing thinner than the case using the means A, but the amount of movement of the movable lens group at the time of zooming, The number of lenses constituting the system tends to increase. Therefore, it is not suitable for miniaturization in volume.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and enables a compact and thin imaging optical system, and a compact, thin and wide angle, and various aberrations are corrected well. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic imaging apparatus.

In order to achieve the above object, an imaging optical system according to the present invention is an imaging optical system having a positive lens group, a negative lens group, and a stop, wherein the negative lens group is closer to the object side than the stop. Arranged, the negative lens group has a cemented lens formed by cementing a plurality of lenses,
When a straight line represented by Nd = α × νd + β (where α = −0.004) is set in an orthogonal coordinate system in which the horizontal axis is Nd and the vertical axis is νd,
The area defined by the straight line when the lower limit value is within the range of the conditional expression (1) and the straight line when the upper limit value is satisfied, and the area determined by the following conditional expressions (2) and (3) Nd and νd of at least one lens constituting the cemented lens are included.
1.40 <β <1.72 (1)
1.30 <Nd <1.56 (2)
3 <νd <80 (3)
Here, Nd represents a refractive index and νd represents an Abbe number.

  Further, when one lens in which Nd and νd are included in both the areas is a predetermined lens, the optical axis center thickness of the predetermined lens is larger than the optical axis center thicknesses of the other lenses constituting the cemented lens. Is also preferably thin.

Moreover, it is preferable that the following conditional expression is satisfied.
0.22 <t1 <2.0
However, t1 is the optical axis center thickness of the predetermined lens.

  Further, it is desirable that the cemented lens is a compound lens in which a resin is adhered and cured on the lens surface of one lens constituting the cemented lens.

  In addition, the cemented lens is preferably a compound lens formed by closely bonding glass to the lens surface of one lens constituting the cemented lens.

  Further, it is preferable that the imaging optical system is a zoom lens whose object side is the positive group.

  Further, it is preferable that the imaging optical system is a zoom lens whose negative side is the most object side.

  The imaging optical system preferably has a bending prism.

  Further, it is preferable that the prisms are in a group closest to the object side.

The electronic imaging device of the present invention is obtained by capturing an image formed through the imaging optical system with any one of the imaging optical system of the present invention, the electronic imaging device, and the electronic imaging device. Image processing means for processing the obtained image data and outputting it as image data in which the shape of the image is changed. The imaging optical system is a zoom lens, and the zoom lens is in focus at an object point at infinity. It is characterized by satisfying the following conditional expression.
0.7 <y ₀₇ / (fw · tan ω _07w ) <0.96
However, y ₀₇ is y ₀₇ = 0.7y ₁₀ , where y ₁₀ is the distance (maximum image height) from the center to the farthest point in the effective imaging plane (in the plane where imaging is possible) of the electronic imaging device. expressed. Further, ω _07w is an angle with respect to the optical axis in the object point direction corresponding to the image point connecting from the center on the imaging surface to the position of y ₀₇ at the wide angle end.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce both the volume and the thickness of the imaging optical system, and in the electronic imaging device of the present invention, it is possible to correct various aberrations and widen the angle. Coexistence is possible.

Prior to the description of the embodiments, the effects of the present invention will be described.
The imaging optical system of the present invention is a imaging optical system having a positive lens group, a negative lens group, and a stop. A negative lens group is disposed on the object side of the stop, and a plurality of negative lens groups are provided. The basic configuration is to have a cemented lens formed by cementing these lenses.

  As described above, in the imaging optical system according to the present invention, the cemented lens is used for the negative lens group on the object side from the stop, so that the variation of the lateral chromatic aberration at the time of zooming in the zoom lens can be easily suppressed. In addition, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the occurrence of color bleeding over the entire zoom range with a small number of lenses. In addition, in order to reduce the size of the entire optical system, it is easy to apply refractive power without making the negative lens group (negative lens group closer to the object side from the stop) as thick as possible. Easy to achieve.

When a straight line represented by Nd = α × νd + β (where α = −0.004) is set in an orthogonal coordinate system in which the horizontal axis is Nd and the vertical axis is νd,
The area defined by the straight line when the lower limit value is within the range of the conditional expression (1) and the straight line when the upper limit value is satisfied, and the area determined by the following conditional expressions (2) and (3) It is desirable that Nd and νd of at least one lens constituting the cemented lens are included.
1.40 <β <1.72 (1)
1.30 <Nd <1.56 (2)
3 <νd <80 (3)
Here, Nd represents a refractive index and νd represents an Abbe number.

  Here, the glass material means a lens material such as glass or resin. Further, as the cemented lens, a lens in which a plurality of lenses made of these glass materials selected as appropriate is cemented is used.

  If the lower limit of conditional expression (1) is not reached, the refractive index is low, so the effect of providing an aspheric surface on the air contact surface side is small, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration, coma aberration, and distortion aberration.

  If the upper limit value of conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the correction level of chromatic aberration and Petzval sum is equivalent to that of a normal optical glass lens, and the features of the present invention cannot be obtained.

  If the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is not reached, the effect when an aspheric surface is provided on the air contact surface side is small, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration, coma aberration, and distortion aberration.

  If the upper limit value of conditional expression (2) is exceeded, the correction level of chromatic aberration and Petzval sum is equivalent to that of a normal optical glass lens, and the features of the present invention cannot be obtained.

  If the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is not reached, chromatic aberration can be corrected as an extremely thin cemented lens. However, if the air contact surface is made aspherical, higher-order lateral chromatic aberration and color coma are likely to occur, and the degree of freedom in correcting aberrations. Decrease.

  If the upper limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, it is necessary to increase the refractive power of the cemented lens in order to correct chromatic aberration, which is advantageous for correcting the Petzval sum. It becomes easy to receive.

It is more preferable that the following conditional expression (1 ′) is satisfied.
1.41 <β <1.71 (1 ′)
Further, it is more preferable that the following conditional expression (1 ″) is satisfied.
1.45 <β <1.65 (1 ″)
It is more preferable that the following conditional expression (2 ′) is satisfied.
1.40 <Nd <1.53 (2 ′)
Furthermore, it is more preferable that the following conditional expression (2 ″) is satisfied.
1.45 <Nd <1.50 (2 ″)
It is more preferable that the following conditional expression (3 ′) is satisfied.
5 <νd <70 (3 ′)
Furthermore, it is more preferable that the following conditional expression (3 ″) is satisfied.
15 <νd <65 (3 ″)

  The cemented lens is composed of a lens having the values of Nd and νd (hereinafter referred to as a “predetermined lens”) included in both of the above-mentioned areas and another lens, and the predetermined lens has an optical axis center thickness. It is preferably thinner than the center thickness of the optical axis of the other lens. By doing so, it is possible to realize a further excellent correction effect for each of the above-mentioned aberrations and a thin lens group.

  The cemented lens is preferably a compound lens in which a resin is adhered and cured on the lens surface (other lens surface) in order to improve manufacturing accuracy. Here, the contact-cured resin corresponds to the predetermined lens.

  Further, the cemented lens is advantageous in terms of light resistance, chemical resistance, and the like, and is preferably a compound lens in which glass is adhered and cured on the lens surface (other lens surface). Here, the glass that has been subjected to close contact hardening corresponds to the predetermined lens.

In addition, when the cemented lens is molded in a small size and stably, the optical axis center thickness t1 of a predetermined lens (Nd and νd included in both the above regions) is expressed by the following conditional expression (4). It is good to satisfy.
0.22 <t1 <2.0 (4)
It is more preferable that the following conditional expression (4 ′) is satisfied.
0.3 <t1 <1.5 (4 ′)
Furthermore, it is more preferable that the following conditional expression (4 ″) is satisfied.
0.32 <t1 <1.0 (4 ")

  Further, the imaging optical system is preferably a zoom lens in which the most object side is a positive group from the viewpoint of increasing the zoom magnification and improving the brightness of the lens.

  In addition, the image forming optical system is preferably a zoom lens having a negative group on the most object side in view of miniaturization.

  Further, the imaging optical system preferably has a prism for bending in order to reduce the size of the optical system with respect to the photographing direction.

  In order to further reduce the thickness of the imaging optical system, it is preferable that the prism is in the group closest to the object side.

By the way, when the pixel size of the electronic image sensor becomes smaller than a certain level, the component having the Nyquist frequency or higher disappears due to the influence of diffraction. Therefore, if this is used, the optical low-pass filter can be omitted. This is also preferable from the viewpoint of making the entire optical system as thin as possible.
Therefore, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (6) is satisfied.
Fw ≧ a (μm) (6)
Here, Fw is the release F value at the wide-angle end, and a is the horizontal inter-pixel distance (unit: μm) of the electronic image sensor.
If the conditional expression (6) is satisfied, the optical low-pass filter need not be arranged in the optical path. Therefore, the optical system can be reduced in size.

  When the above condition (6) is satisfied, it is preferable that the aperture stop is only opened from the viewpoint of ensuring image quality. This means that the optical system in this case is an optical system in which the diameter of the aperture stop is always constant. Further, in the optical system in this case, a narrowing operation is not necessary, so that the narrowing mechanism can be omitted. Therefore, the size can be reduced accordingly. If the conditional expression (6) is not satisfied, an optical low-pass filter is necessary.

Moreover, it is more preferable that the conditional expression (6 ′) is satisfied.
Fw ≧ 1.2a (μm) (6 ′)
Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the conditional expression (6 ″) is satisfied.
Fw ≧ 1.4a (μm) (6 ″)

Finally, an electronic imaging device will be described. As the electronic imaging device, a device that achieves both a reduction in depth and a wide angle of view is preferable.
Here, it is assumed that an object at infinity is imaged by an optical system having no distortion. In this case, since the image formed has no distortion,
f = y / tan ω
Is established.
Where y is the height of the image point from the optical axis, f is the focal length of the imaging system, ω is the angle with respect to the optical axis in the object direction corresponding to the image point connecting from the center on the imaging surface to the y position. is there.

On the other hand, if the optical system has barrel distortion,
f> y / tan ω
It becomes. That is, if f and y are constant values, ω is a large value.

  Therefore, it is preferable to use a zoom lens as an imaging optical system in the electronic imaging apparatus. As the zoom lens, it is preferable to use an optical system that intentionally has a large barrel distortion, particularly at a focal length near the wide-angle end. In this case, it is possible to achieve a wider angle of view of the optical system as much as it is not necessary to correct distortion. However, the image of the object is formed on the electronic image pickup device in a state having barrel-shaped distortion. Therefore, in the electronic imaging device, image data obtained by the electronic imaging element is processed by image processing. In this processing, the image data (image shape) is changed so as to correct the barrel distortion. In this way, the finally obtained image data is image data having a shape substantially similar to the object. Therefore, an object image may be output to a CRT or printer based on the image data.

Here, it is preferable to use an imaging optical system (zoom lens) that satisfies the following conditional expression (7) when focusing on an object point at infinity.
0.7 <y ₀₇ / (fw · tan ω _07w ) <0.96 (7)
However, when y ₀₇ is the distance to the farthest point from the center in the effective image pickup plane of the electronic imaging device (imaging possible in-plane) (maximum image height) was y _10, the table as y ₀₇ = 0.7y ₁₀ Is done. Further, ω _07w is an angle with respect to the optical axis in the object point direction corresponding to the image point connecting from the center on the imaging surface at the wide angle end to the position of y ₀₇ .

  Conditional expression (7) defines the degree of barrel distortion at the zoom wide-angle end. If conditional expression (7) is satisfied, it becomes possible to capture information with a wide angle of view without enlarging the optical system. Note that an image distorted in a barrel shape is photoelectrically converted by an electronic imaging device, and becomes image data distorted in a barrel shape. However, the image data distorted into a barrel shape is electrically processed by an image processing means which is a signal processing system of the electronic imaging apparatus, corresponding to a change in the shape of the image. In this way, even if the image data finally output from the image processing means is reproduced on the display device, the distortion is corrected and an image substantially similar to the subject shape is obtained.

  Here, when the value exceeds the upper limit value of the conditional expression (7), particularly when a value close to 1 is taken, correction corresponding to the fact that the distortion aberration is optically corrected is performed by the image processing means. However, it is difficult to capture an image over a wide viewing angle while maintaining downsizing of the optical system. On the other hand, if the lower limit value of conditional expression (7) is not reached, when the image distortion due to the distortion of the optical system is corrected by the image processing means, the stretching ratio in the radial direction around the angle of view becomes too high. As a result, the sharpness degradation at the periphery of the image becomes conspicuous.

  On the other hand, when the conditional expression (7) is satisfied, it is possible to reduce the size and widen the angle of the optical system (make the vertical angle of view of distortion more than 38 °).

It is more preferable that the following conditional expression (7 ′) is satisfied.
0.75 <y ₀₇ / (fw · tan ω _07w ) <0.94 (7 ')
Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the following conditional expression (7 ″) is satisfied.
_{0.80 <y 07 / (fw ·} tanω 07w) <0.92 ... (7 ")

  The imaging optical system according to the present invention satisfies the above-described conditional expressions and structural characteristics individually or satisfies the requirements so that the volume of the imaging optical system can be reduced even when an electronic imaging device having a large number of pixels is used. This makes it possible to achieve both a reduction in thickness and thickness, and to achieve good aberration correction. In addition, the imaging optical system of the present invention can be provided with (satisfied with) the above conditional expressions and structural features in combination. In this case, further downsizing / thinning or better aberration correction can be achieved. In addition, the electronic imaging apparatus having the imaging optical system of the present invention can achieve both a reduction in volume and a reduction in volume of the imaging optical system. Can be achieved.
